KC "Financially stupid people are everywhere - don't be one" - a little provocative!

---

This book, from the stable of that respected finance writer Jason Kelly, steps back a little from explaining the nuts and bolts of investing to take a broader view of the entire milieu that the American public inhabit.

Ill liquidity My Quest for Thousands!! $$$

Got a casting call today from "Till debt do us part / House Poor". Almost a movie star, but submitted the application when things were much worse. $5K given to you for a month of shooting (seven separate shoots), which you can use to pay off debt or do home repairs. I offered to rack up some consumer debt and take a sledge to the kitchen... if they would pay it, apparently it doesn't work that way.

Jeff Rule #1 Investing - Update....Day 80.

Just a real quick update, not only to let you all know that I'm still alive and working at this, but also to check the pulse of this site and Adrian's following. It seems to me that things are slowing down here and on Adrian's other sites. I hope that means he's deeply involved in his recent real estate developments and not that he's given up on sharing his wisdom with the rest of us. Here's how my Rule #1 performance stacks up against my portfolio of mutual funds over the last 80 days. Mutual… Continue

Jim Garver Virtual Media monetized

In hopes of creating some awareness, I wanted to share my input in regards to virtual media world, and its' monetary potential. It's true now that people are actually utilizing major social media venues like facebook, twitter, stumbleupon, and more to create a buzz around their name/brand. Niranjan Shah, successful business owner and entrepreneur, shares some of his thoughts on the topic at his website, and portrays an exc… Continue

Kathy Maxwelll Why your business needs the essence of a distinctive corporate identity?

Did you ever think why the company media representatives and the brand equity managers keep staking and lay emphasis about the essentiality of owning a professional logo design to march on? Is the build up of hype about having custom design logo warranted? It sounds pretty much explainable, doesn’t it? A logo of a company is the character of the organization which marks its unique identity. There are many competitors of your business around you very near but what really signifies you is… Continue

Jeff Rule #1 Investing - The First 30 Days of Reving the Growth Engine

My number is 10 Million by Jan 1st 2019. As part of my growth engine to get me there, I will be using individual stocks. I first came across Phil Town's Book "Rule #1" about a year and a half ago (have I been reading Adrian's posts for that long?) on Adrian's 7million7years.com web site. I read it quickly, bought my first stock (Garmin) according the book's valuation principles and then promptly let everything fall by the wayside without bothering to actually implement the part of the strategy… Continue

Lee Martin First set of greeting cards ready just in time for Christmas.

As many of you know I have been trying to start up a greeting card company. The first test drive will be happening just in time for Christmas. What kind of cards you might ask? Well Dah....Christmas cards you silly thing. The line will be simple hand drawn sketches from my limited artistic skills. I'll test the market here in the mid west with those friends and family who will be willing to humor me as I seek to discover if this'll fly or not. I'll start with a set of eight different 5"X7" Chr… Continue

Adrian Give a member a gift?

We use Ning to host this community site and one of the cool new features that they've added is "give a gift". To try it, just click on a member's profile and select the 'give a gift' link. I've looked at it, but haven't tried sending one (most of them look a little hokey to me ... and not terribly relevant to a personal finance web-site) ... ... but, hey, don't let that stop you: a gift might be a great way to recognize a fellow member's contribution. If you try it, be sure to let us know wh… Continue

Debbie What do you do with ideas to improve existing products?

I had an idea recently to improve an existing product. It would take something that's already on the market and sells well (for years...) and make it more modern and hopefully, better. You can't just invent it yourself because someone else already invented the primary product, right? This is literally a slight improvement and using the existing item but then adding on or modifying it to make it a bit better. Would I have to contact the original creator to see if their interested in the idea? A… Continue

Adrian If you are interested in real-estate ...

... particularly, if you are interested in property development (as a speculative/business activity) I have posted a spreadsheet that I developed to help me decide to go ahead with a recent land acquisition (a multi-story) residential property development site) on a new group that I have created for real-estate junkies on this forum: http://shareyournumber.ning.com… Continue

Adrian I think she's screwed ...

On 7million7years.com today, I posted about a question from a new reader who is in dire financial straits; you can read her comment here: http://7million7years.com/2009/08/31/i-think-were-screwed/ I'm seeing some pretty good comments from the 7m7y reader community, but I thought that I would share my private thoughts here; it's simple and straight to the point: if you ever find yourself in a situation like… Continue

Lee Martin Learning As I Go

Here is a quick update: Just when I think I got things figured out, life throws me a twist. You see I'm trying to establish a small business in the form of a greet card company. I attempted to contact several potential sketch artists who might be interested in being on the ground floor of this exciting business. Out of five different people I contacted only one showed any interest. (I am still looking for interested sketch artists) I was excited and made some basic plans but progress is pretty… Continue

Adrian Technical Problems with my Blog ...

... not fun, but it happens :) So, after receiving up / down reports on my blog - and, experiencing it myself on a couple of occasions (i.e. a "page not found" error message) - I hassled GoDaddy's tech. services team who have not yet managed to solve my problem. That they immediately knew what the issue was indicates that this issue is not isolated to me, so I figure they must be busy fixing it. Anyhow, this… Continue

John Doe Jr Why do you live where you do?

I'm fascinated by how people move around, and in particular how they migrate to a different town, city or even country that offers the best opportunities for what they want or need to do. My own experience has been one of almost constant moving, but I know I'm far from unique. I wonder how many other people (members of this site in particular) have moved themselves and their families to different places out of necessity and/or because of opportunity - and how well things turned out. Hence the… Continue

John Doe Jr It warms a parent's heart

During these school holidays, our teenage daughter asked if there were any books we’d like her to read. Before you fall off your chair in amazement, there’s some important background to this otherwise extraordinary request. Jane (not her real name) has an unusually broad background in business and investment philosophies having grown up around my wife and me as we grappled with how to get ahead financially. Add to that the fact that my wife is an accountant and I’m a lawyer and an economist by… Continue

Jeff August Net Worth Checkup

I just updated my net worth profile over at Networthiq. It's been a good 30 days between real estate and the stock market. My net worth jumped 7% to $719K. That's my first time over $700,000. As a recap, I need to average ~ 30% compounded annually to get to my number (~2.5% per month). Since January 09 my net worth has risen a full 41% keeping me ahead of my minimum pace. :-) I know the rapid growth won't last and It'll c… Continue

Adrian New Rule # 1 Group on Share Your Number

The KC-inspired discussion on Rule # 1 Investing (thanks, KC!) has prompted me to create a new group right here, on Share Your Number, devoted to all-things-Phil-Town - well, at least to his book: Rule # 1 Investing. To kick things off, I am sharing some resources (including my ver… Continue

KC Millionaire lifestyle for less.

--- Further to a comment I made on Diane's Comment Wall, I thought I'd broaden the number of people who could become aware of the idea through this blog-post. Essentially this is what I said: I especially like the way you took up the "4 hour workweek" idea that it might be quite possible to have a millionaire lifestyle when you have far less money - in the book he checked the prices and found it was quite possible if you went and visited Argentina, as a for instance. You might be interest… Continue

KC Virtual stock exchange - am I any good at this?
